Hoppy Easter

Actually, she was very excited. Because Winnie was...and because there was chocolate involved. Chocolate that mom let her eat. At 6 in the morning.

(Have I mentioned that our day started early?)

These shots were taken much later in the day... after some forced naps. We had had two big parties the day before and in case it hasn't yet been made clear, our Sunday started early, so after the Easter festivities were over (by, um, 7:15), we had breakfast and about two hours of meltdowns and bickering before we took a little Easter QUIET TIME! Everyone woke up in much better moods. So we donned our bunny ears and...

went...

ROLLER SKATING!

Because nothing says "SPRING!" like carpeted walls, day glow clothing and the smell of nachos.

It was actually hilariously fun (and absolutely like stepping into 1981). Winona loves skating... and got quite good on that rink with the skating Easter Bunny. She can't wait to go back. I can't wait to buy her some roller skates so we never have to.

We came home and busted out the grill for its inaugural 2012 run. While the burgers grilled, we had a little deck jam.

Jezebel is pictured here pouring her HEART into "Where is Love?" from Oliver. She had her eyes closed, head thrown back, lungs belting... the whole song. Our neighbors are grateful that it's a short one.

And then, to bed. 'Cause we'd been up for a looooooooooooooooooooong time. Happy Spring, everyone!!!!
